Detail

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 15.10 - Ubuntu 15.04 - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Summary:

libpng could be made to crash or run programs as your login if it opened a specially crafted file.

Software Description: - libpng: PNG (Portable Network Graphics) file library

Details:

It was discovered that libpng incorrectly handled certain small bit-depth values. If a user or automated system using libpng were tricked into opening a specially crafted image, an attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service or execute code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2015-8472)

Qixue Xiao and Chen Yu discovered that libpng incorrectly handled certain malformed images. If a user or automated system using libpng were tricked into opening a specially crafted image, an attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2015-8540)

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 15.10:
libpng12-0 1.2.51-0ubuntu3.15.10.2

Ubuntu 15.04:
libpng12-0 1.2.51-0ubuntu3.15.04.2
